Entry tags:frosting, icing, it is not a waste of butter and sugar, uk

If I knew you were wanking, I'd have iced a cake
Over in [info]hp_britglish, schemingreader makes the mistake of asking what the stuff you spread on top of a cake is called. Hint: It ain't "frosting".

[info]oncelikeshari thinks that butter icing is evil and wrong and should be stopped, or that it doesn't exist. I'm not entirely sure.

Either way, I want cake. :(

Short, but sweet.

Either Pillsbury or Duncan Hines makes a "whipped buttercream" icing that comes in a little plastic can. Good stuff.

Not really a tin, I just couldn't think of the right word.

Pot? Like a yoghurt pot? Or the little plastic pots that cream comes in?

Lol, I just typed buttercream in to google and searched UK sites, I got a list of recipies and cosmetics. With readymade buttercream I found a site that sells it!

Oh, that stuff! Mmmmmmmmmmmm yes. :D

I have this delicious recipe for buttercream, though, if you like:

6 tablespoons softened butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon cocoa powder (actually, I usually double this, or so, but of course you can make the basic recipe and just add more to taste if you think it needs it)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla (I double this, too :3 )

Mush together and refrigerate. (It's fabulous when you've just made it, but trust me, it gets even better after it's been in the fridge a bit. At least I think so. I think it gets more buttery and chocolatey.)

Although, perusing the Duncan Hines site... I've never seen buttercream by them! I'll have to check next time I'm at the store.

Well, it's basically pure sugar and fat. And air, if you get the whipped kind.

I've never seen them before so they don't exist.

I'm sorry, you'll just have to make your own.

Pfft. Your bitchcakes probably have vile icing on them. They are not real bitchcakes, they are evil and wrong and filled with buttercream instead of jam, you horrible plebe!

...Okay, yeah, you win. I can't top the "Weasleys don't eat buttercream" thing, that was just too bizarre. XD

Just remember, if you write a fic about Buffy getting one, it's a can of frosting!

It would be a tub, 'cause it's plastic, but tubs are wider and flatter and contain more frosting than your average thingie of frosting that I hesitate to call a can because it isn't metal. Buffy & Co. would probably discuss this in detail, it would be very in-character.

Frosting should really come in tubs. I would be all over that.

Everyone I know still calls it a can as a throwback to the days when it was metal. Also it is can-shaped, as opposed to a more shallow design i. e. margarine tubs.

I did a quick check of Duncan Hines (calls them tubs), Betty Crocker (doesn't say) and Pillsbury (calls them cans) so it appears the matter is up for some debate.
